to be without it, and the unhappy students of American history live on a
starvation diet. . . . [In my] new "Special Subject," which I call "The
Closing of the Frontier in the United States, 1885-1896" . . . I have been
baffled altogether to find something illustrating satisfactorily the agrarian
element in the Populist Movement. Has anyone ever edited any Farmers'
Alliance papers?
Possibly Professor Bellot's need was answered to a large
extent by the publication in the January Quarterly of Ralph
Smith's "The Farmers' Alliance in Texas, 1875-1900." A copy
has gone forward to London.
Carl Coke Rister, who presided over one of the sessions of
the Austin meeting, had an article, "Carlota, A Confederate
Colony in Mexico," in the February, 1945, Journal of Southern
History. Although the title does not so indicate, the article is
definitely Texana. Texas characters appearing in the story are
E. Kirby Smith, Louis T. Wigfall, Pendleton Murrah, Edward
Clark, William P. Hardeman, Alexander W. Terrell, Oran M.
Roberts, and Hamilton P. Bee. Carlota must have been quite
a Texas village for a time in 1866 and early in 1867.
At the Austin meeting Professor Rister was several times
introduced as a "de-horned Texas longhorn." He was born in
Texas and was for several years a colleague of R. N. Richardson's
at Hardin-Simmons University but is now chairman of the
department of history at the University of Oklahoma. Rister
is a prolific writer. At present he is engaged in completing a
book, Robert E. Lee in Texas. He has been asked to present a
paper at the 1946 meeting of the Association on "Photographs
as a Source of Western History." This subject will probably
call for extensive references to the Erwin E. Smith Collection
at Bonham and possibly to the Ragsdale pictures from San
Angelo and the Huffmann Collection in Montana.
The regents of the University of Oklahoma recently selected
Professor Rister as the research professor for the university
during 1945-46.
Dr. I. J. Cox, of the department of history at Louisiana State
University, spoke to the San Antonio Historical Association on
April 26 on "San Antonio at the Turn of the Century." Present
at the meeting were many of Dr. Cox's former students at the
Seeley School in San Antonio.163
